Question

1. photosynthesis occurs in the:

a. mitochondria
b. chloroplast
c. ribosome
d. cytoskeleton

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the function of each organelle:

• Mitochondria (option a) are for cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.
• Chloroplasts (option b) contain chlorophyll and are the site of photosynthesis in plant cells.
• Ribosomes (option c) are for protein synthesis.
• Cytoskeleton (option d) provides structural support, not involved in photosynthesis.

Answer:

b. chloroplast
